   How should I care for my pet after his surgery?After your pet has had an operation, you’ll need to keep an eye on him. Rest and relaxation are generally what the doctor orders. So if your dog or cat has recently been spayed or neutered, or had other surgery, keep him away from other pets and children while his incisions heal. Watch for signs of infection at the incision site – oozing, swelling and redness are all potential warning signs. Post-operative pets are often in a weakened state, and less able to feed themselves or resume normal bathroom habits. Cats should therefore remain indoors for several weeks after surgery. During this time, your pet’s appetite and activity level should steadily improve. If not, call your veterinarian. -Dr. Larry McDaniel, DVM for the "Purina® Animal Instincts" Podcast Series
